I have finally decided who my running mate will be and will make the announcement first right here on my blog.
I thought about using a female like my sister Mandy. However, that has been done and would not have the wow factor I am after.
I thought about picking a Californian to help carry the big state and I considered Dennis. However, he is somewhat of a…ahem…character and I was sure my opponents would make a huge deal of his prison term.
So after much consideration…….
Announcing……

Rusty!!!!!
Rusty looks good in his press pictures.
Rusty is a wonderful dog and will carry the huge state of Texas.
He is a hard worker and will be in favor of the common, hard-working man.

He is a very fun-loving, jovial guy!
I think you’ll agree I made a good choice!!

You have my vote! I’m shamelessly ruled by adorableness..!
Oh Tuffy! What an excellent choice. Poor Dennis would have been raked through the coals, not only his little incident with the visa, but his alein abduction would surely have brought out the wakos. You have my vote, and Roscoe’s too! Besides Rusty is quite a looker!
Imagine the destruction Dennis would’ve wrought at the White House, Rusty is a great choice. Will you stop the Iraq War???
Excellent Choice! Woohoo! I am off to Texas on October 3rd! I am so excited!
I am honored to be chosen as Tuffy’s running mate! Be assured I will do my best to make Tuffy and you, the voting public, proud. Tuffy is a wonderful and smart dog with a great platform that I fully back! He will be a great leader in these tough times and I want to do everything I can to help him.
Congrats Rusty!! I think you will do a great job.
Woof, Tuffy
Oh, wow. We already promised our vote to Turbo and Khyra. We didn’t know you were running.
Woof, Woof

Wise choice Tuffy! I’m fond of Dennis, but what with his dicey track record in feline relations (steppin’ on Trouble and all), he might’ve lost you the feline vote.
With Rusty, you could worry about the rodent vote, but since they’re always shredding their ballots for nesting material, not a big worry.
[...] Tuffy announced his Presidential running mate last week. He chose as his Vice-President me, Rusty! [...]
